I kiss the ground

for I'm back in the land of my people, conservative bastards that they may be, they're plenty polite in most social situations.

i had planned a trip to Mexico City and south of there but didn't manage to save any money for that. You see, during my investigations, research, I learned that life, adventure were not simply a matter of spending big money, lodging in resorts, visiting exotic places; nay, life, adventure, is to be found in the moment, in people, smells, tastes, views, things which are all around us and not need be paid for, neccessarily. With that in mind, I had a damn good time these past few months and it cost me a few bucks, a few buck with which a could have had a lot of damn good time in Mexico. In the end, like a novice TEFLer that I am, I'm back with the folks for summer.

Being back home for the summer ain't so bad, it seems. Already, I've been 'Drinkin' with Lincoln'. Our local water-hole gives 10 drinks for $5 on Tuesday nights. Not to everbody, though. You've got to have connects'. That was plenty fun. I've also been floatin' down the river. You get yerself down to the tireshop, buy an innertube, plop it in the water, jump on it, and a down you float. Don't forget to bring an icechest full o beer, stuck in an other tube. Some old farts had a beach along the river and were throwin' bead necklaces to the ladies floatin' by, in exchange for some eye candy. Othe than that, I've been wasting away, declared vacation. In the end, I might get down to Baja.
